DAB+, DMB-R and DMB TV transmissions have taken place in Italy. Currently (January 2017) only DAB+ or "original-flavour" DAB are being used for radio. There is also some DMB-TV. According to Italian regulations, only DAB+ and DMB-R can be used for "regular" radio services. Currently, only the province Trentino has "regular" services. In other areas, the transmissions are regulated as trials. The evidence points to a broadcaster preference for DAB+. In view of DMB-R being specified as one of the official standards, however, Wohnort recommends that if you intend to use a receiver in this country it should be capable of receiving both DAB+ and DMB-R. There is an Italian "kite mark" for digital radio receivers - the logo of ARD (Associazione per la Radiofonia Digitale in Italia). To qualify for this mark, a receiver should be capable of receiving DAB+ and DMB-R in both Band III and L-band.

In Alto Adige (Südtirol), RAI services are available on the joint RAS/RAI ensemble operating on Block 10B. In Trentino, RAI services, including regional variations, are broadcast in DAB+ on a new ensemble transmitted from Paganella.
